It's a voip router a standard house phone plugs into it and it has a USB port for storage devices.

Probably moving to Vodafone too when we move as they have a decent deal at the moment that would suit us

2. Was, till the adapter died, then it went in the bin. Then I replaced it with a TP-link W8960N. The first one wouldnt save settings. The 2nd decided to reset all the time. And I read, that these modems are crap if you're on Xbox Live.

So, took it back to the shop, replaced it with an ASUS DSL-N12U B1 modem / router. This one needs a FW update. Because the time in it, is wrong for NZ (its ahead an hour of NZ time). And there's a few options in it, that you use the time for

3. ISP's modem was a crappy RTA1320v6 one port. But I connected it to a GB switch. It was just over a year, before the adapter died

1293196 2012-08-06 05:10:00 1. Your current ISP Name: Orcon

2. Was Modem Supplied by ISP: Yes, technically I *had* to take the Genius Lite and go on an 18 month plan, or pay $5 a month to rent their Lite one and not be on a contract. However, I don't use their Lite modem at all (See next)

3. Model Brand/Model: I use a Draytek DV120 in PPPoA -> PPPoE Passthrough to my TP-Link TL-WR1043ND running Gargoyle

4. (Approximate) Age of Modem: Purchased the DV120 about 6 months ago and the TP-Link about 4-6 weeks ago to replace my 3yr old Asus WL-520GU.
